S. Warmbeth, mounted it. As Capt. Thompson, in company [ with W. [I. Brooks, a Cleveland {lawyer, and a Norwegian sailor, | were cruising off the coast of Mi- ami, Fla., on June 1, 1912, there | hove intp sight a huge monster, the like of which man never betore had laid eyes upon. A mighty struggle for supremacy ensued and man was declared the victor. Five harpoons and 151 bullets were required to subdue the mon- ster, and it took five days to kill it. Before it was wunder control f{t smashed & boat into thousands of | pieces and knocked the rudder and | propeller off a thirty-ton yacht. | The crew was towed around the ocean for thiriy-nine hours by the monster at a speed of about fcrty. five miles an hour. When it was finally brought into shore more than 5,000 people were on the steamship ways at the yards of the Miami Yacht and Machine Co.

The commoner has a winter home at MMiami, and has seen the monster many times before it was transported. Attempts to classify it have beem made in the Smithsonian Institu- tion, but so far all have proved fu- tile.

A pectorial fin is 8 fect long and 2 feet wide, and & dorsal 9n 3 feet long and 2 feet 9 | inches wide. Its hide is 3 inches thick and has no scaies, resembling " that of an elephant’s coat. A remarkable tale of the briny ‘deop related by Capt. Thompson is that concerning a shark captured | off the coast of Florida. A harpoon was thrown at a chark which failed | to move after the first thrust.
